Brahmagupta used which term for algebra?

Last Updated:

Brahmagupta used kuttaka or kuttaka-ganita in connection with algebraic computation, especially the pulveriser method for indeterminate equations. Contemporary inscriptions and coins are especially useful for royal genealogy, conquests, offices, titles and religious affiliation. Ankaganita denotes arithmetic, rekhaganita geometry, and jyotisha-ganita astronomical calculation rather than the requested algebraic terminology.
